If you are a history buff, or the kind of person who likes to send birthday greetings, or you are just fascinated with facts about your chosen area of interest, be it sports, music or the news, you can get what you need from this collection of websites. I habitually kick important information out of my brain so I can better remember trivia.

Here are a few facts about January 3rd I'll probably never forget:

  • Aretha Franklin became the first woman elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987
  • The Boston Red Sox got $125,000 for Babe Ruth in 1920, creating the 84-year Curse of the Bambino
  • Martin Luther was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church for failing to recant his 95 Theses in 1496
  • Apple Computer was incorporated on this day in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak
